Or anidea for the worst shirt ide in the history of Assiciation Football its a wind up no no one could be that stupid Joking aside, I am seriously worried that someone has decided this is marketable, after all they are in a business to sell, sell, sell otherwise we would all be getting one for free. This hasn’t suddenly been produced overnight but probably had months of meetings and negotiations. It cannot be just one person behind this, did no one honestly think not only that it wasn’t commercially a goer but out of respect to the history of the club too. I do not work in marketing or design, never have but I certainly would have designed something more fitting for the occasion. I’ve seen some fantastic designs for shirts on here in the past too. What a shame we are now an embarrassment and I am gutted over the opportunity lost. Better get it right for the 150th I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 It's awful and I won't be buying it. If we're celebrating 125 years a retro shirt would surely have been more appropriate. Also, why has it got the new horrendous logo on it, hardly historic.

Steve Watts Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 The worst thing is.....I've just bought one! My little boy loves it and his birthday is 2 days before the match. (I'll let him off as he's only going to be 8 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Trying to get my head around the fact this made it all the way to launch and production. When 99% of people immediately conclude it’s awful, how the hell does it pass through the various stages of design, approval and manufacture without a single person stating the obvious? Reminds of the playgroup font on the training wear a couple of seasons ago. 5 minutes ago, RedDave said: It’s a wind up everyone It’s not though is it.

Only shame is that DUNDER is scrawled across it. Two of the 3 other examples on this thread have no sponsor. The Man City one does, but Ethihad is rather more subtle. Perhaps Dunder had to be included (were the Chelsea & Leeds ones not worn for 1st team games?). If so perhaps the chaotic design was thought to be the way to "disguise" the dominating sponsor. I think there must have been many better solutions, although DUNDER spread across would have surely detracted from most/all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
